Sunstone Cabochons - Small Oval

Small irregular oval cabochons.  

These little sunstones are beautiful with lots of peachy shimmer. They are all slightly different, with some inclusions. This means they have a lot of character, but will be important to use a gentle hand when setting.

They have slightly rounded bases - as is common with softer stones - this means the corners don't chip as easily. 

We recommend using a fine silver bezel or gallery wire to minimise pressure while setting. If you find a slightly rounded base is too hard to stabilise, try putting a small oval jump ring inside your setting underneath the stone. This holds the stone steady. 

It can also be used to make the stone sit higher in a bezel if you want a bit more impact. 

Approximate size: 6 mm x 8 mm, and 3mm high at the dome.
